CHAPTER 4. WANDERING BEYOND MAJORS AND MINORS

"YOUR MAJOR IS NOT YOUR END GOAL; ITS A SERIES OF CLASSES THAT WILL HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOAL."

I think that students have to realize that all classes required in their majors are valuable. However many classes are not related to their majors, students have opportunities to acquire knowledge and learn skills that which would be very helpful in developing their careers.



"IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR COURSES ARE NOT RELEVANT TO YOUR LIFE POST-COLLEGE, YOU ARE WRONG".

However many students could agree that some courses they have to take in college are useless, most of the courses contain metaknowledge that can be very helpful and can be applied in workplace setting. I believe that everything what we learn in college help us to gain experience, different types of skills and make us to be open to new ideas.


"WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER"

According to the chapter many students try to read and learn everything but 80% of important information will come from 20% of the material. I think it is important to focus only on things that are the most important for us. Each of us should figure out how to learn smarter not harder.
